Fresh Expression
Fresh expressions are any of over a thousand new church groups that have developed within the Church of England since 1990 in areas where traditional expressions of church have become largely irrelevant to much of the population. A fresh expressions church is a "form of church for our changing culture, established primarily for the benefit of people who are not yet members of any church will come into being through principles of listening, service, incarnational mission and making disciples will have the potential to become a mature expression of church shaped by the gospel and the enduring marks of the church and for its cultural context".

Famous quotes containing the words fresh and/or expression:
“These are the Gardens of the Desert, these
The unshorn fields, boundless and beautiful,
And fresh as the young earth, ere man had sinned—”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
“Fashion is the most intense expression of the phenomenon of neomania, which has grown ever since the birth of capitalism. Neomania assumes that purchasing the new is the same as acquiring value.... If the purchase of a new garment coincides with the wearing out of an old one, then obviously there is no fashion. If a garment is worn beyond the moment of its natural replacement, there is pauperization. Fashion flourishes on surplus, when someone buys more than he or she needs.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
